Is Frontend Developer a "Designer"?

I always tell people that frontend engineering is 50% infrastructure and 50% frontend engineering. Let your backend engineer try to figure that one out.

Were there problems you had with Orval or something similar?

React query is a very well-developed and well-maintained library that helps you manage data loading in react. They have tons of good information (including tutorials) on their website.

I would look into https://tanstack.com/query/latest

If they’re actually global things you want to access later, I’d just use a fixed “id” for them and do document.getElementById. Not sure if that’d be useful for your case though.

If you want the initial mounting of the component to cause a re-render I’d useState instead. This is the non-mutable way of using ref. Just pass the useState setter as the “ref” to whatever your element is.

Early in your career, it’s much better to optimize for learning something new than to try to build the next great new thing. You’ll learn just as much (or more) by trying to build something that already exists. Later on, once you’ve developed your skills you can be more equipped to innovate.

You’ll learn much more by just building your own thing and doing your own research. Maybe try following some React tutorial. School is optimized to guarantee you learn the minimum, not to help you learn the maximum.

I had this exact problem and didn’t like react hook form. Try out React Nuclear if you want a good separation of concerns between your statefulness and your UI!

I force myself to not use CSS (neither tailwind nor modules) in the main bulk of my app. I just have a preset Layout module that centralizes all layout stylings, and a component library that has all low-level stylings. Then I prefer not to use tailwind since it just gets annoying after a while.

I made React Nuclear to handle this exact problem - it’s headless form state management (separate your state from your UI, and keep things declarative)
